Hegseth ""People want to be proud of the ship they are sailing in" renames The USNS Harvey Milk

9. He doesn't understand - T class ships have CIV/MAR crew, not Military...

It's a USNS ship, Merchant Marines and Civilian Crew. Not a "Uniformed Crew" of USN Officers and Sailors...I've seen crew members wandering to chow in Sketchers, Hawaiian Shirts, and board shorts - when they weren't on watch or officially working and required to wear proper fire resistant/heavy duty work clothes.

They could care less who the ship is named after. They're on Contract.
On Edit - It's Bad Luck re-naming a ship while it's still in operational status. That will "emotionally harm" the crew far more than serving on a ship named after a Navy Vet who just happened to be Gay.
